About this property

Stranraer 6.6 miles. Resting quietly in the picturesque village of Kirkcolm, you will find the fabulous Squirrel Cottage. Beautifully appointed with contemporary furnishings, this attractive holiday home offers the ultimate self-catering stay for two couples or a group of four who seek an escape to Scotland. Place a log on the woodburning stove and allow yourself to sink into the plush corner sofa, before turning on the TV to unwind with an entertaining movie. Admire the striking coffee table as you place down your cup of tea, and make your way over to the sleek black dining table to discuss your plans for the upcoming days with the group. Wander into the impressive, fully-fitted kitchen, complete with all of the essentials for a fantastic self-catering stay; let your culinary skills shine as you take to the eye-catching stainless steel range cooker and begin to prepare a mouth-watering meal with the help of the induction hob. Step out onto the veranda through the back door and a couple of steps, and delight in a bottle of your favourite wine as you socialize with friends, watching as the sun sets on another memorable day in Scotland. Head back indoors to choose between two stunning king-size bedrooms, each decorated with chic neutral tones and stylish bedside tables, together creating a luxurious space for guests to retreat to at the end of the day. Those staying in the master bedroom will enjoy taking their time to get ready for the day ahead at the beautiful black dressing table, before selecting their outfit from the spacious built-in storage, while guests staying across the hall can take advantage of the flexible sleeping arrangements by transforming the lovely king-size bed into two singles, if required. Let your worries wash away as you indulge in a tranquil soak in the bath, located on the first floor, whilst your towel keeps nice and toasty on the handy heated towel rail. Take advantage of the ground-floor shower room with a quick, refreshing shower, for those days when you're eager to get out and about exploring the local area. There are several excellent local walks and paths that have been recently upgraded in Kirkcolm and the surrounding area, which is great for guests who enjoy scenic walks. Take a relaxing morning stroll along the shore of breath-taking Loch Ryan, or stop by the town of Stranraer to explore the grounds of Agnew Park and Stranraer Museum, before watching as boats bob happily in the waters of the local harbour. Hop on the train for a scenic ride to the city of Glasgow, or jump in the car and drive to the mesmerizing Galloway Park for breath-taking hikes boasting incredible landscapes and eye-catching historical landmarks, such as Grey Man of the Merrick and Bruce's Stone. Lose yourself in the enchanting history of Glenluce Abbey ruins or enjoy a quick nine holes at the Stranraer Golf Club, home to unrivalled seascapes. On your return to the cottage, stop by the local supermarket to pick up all of your favourite snacks for an evening in front of the TV, or grab some groceries needed for a mouth-watering picnic in the park.
